ABOUT ME: A KEY TO THE QUIZ
Question: Where is my hometown? Correct answer: Binghamton, NY. That's right. i am truly a yankee. i've renounced it all and claim the South, but when you are born somewhere and live there more than a dozen years, it has to be your hometown. There's some sort of rule. i awarded 2 points to those who chose other places near and dear to me: Wilkes-Barre, PA, where my mom grew up, i lived there for a short time too. Wake Forest, NC, which is my southern hometown. Chapel Hill, NC, which is my college town, current place of residence and one of the loveliest places on the face of the earth. We call it the Southern part of heaven.

Question: What was my favourite subject in High School? Correct answer: social studies. i am a total history and civics nerd. Most everyone chose English, which got y'all 2 points because it was my second favourite subject. i was never enrolled in band in HS and hated math and science.

Question: How many siblings do i have? Hardly anyone guessed this one correctly, the ones who got it, knew that i have three siblings. They are all younger. 5, 7 and 9 years younger, to be precise. Two sisters and finally, we got a brother.

Question: My favourite hobby is: knitting. i don't scrapbook (yet.) i'd love to sew, but alas, alack, i haven't really been taught. i blog a lot, so writing earned y'all 2 points. i am a rubbish artist, which everyone knew, because i don't recall anyone chosing drawing as my hobby.

Question: I have never visited: Montana. i've vacationed in Maine, Canada and the Bahamas and i spent a lovely summer in western Colorado. O, the memories!

Question: My favourite books are: children's literature. They are fun and freeing! I awarded half credit to those who chose great books and theological works as i really enjoy reading those as well. I'm always reading.

Question: i have belonged to each of the following traditions of faith EXCEPT: Methodist. I was baptised Catholic. I was Assemblies of God and baptist, among other traditions, as a kid. Currently, i am technically a Presbyterian.

Question: I have never: watched the Osbornes. i don't have a T.V. i guess most of y'all know that. i have seen a Broadway show (Cats, in HS). i have climbed a fourteener (a 14,000 ft high mtn.). i was on television regularly as a kid... i was on a nationally syndicated news show. True story.

Question: My favourite movie is: The Princess Bride. Hands down.

Question: If i got my wish, my first son would be named: Elijah Knox. We'd call him Knox. 2 points for those who chose Theophilus McMichael, as Mike did once post about that. 2 points for those gutsy enough to chose Strider, a nice Tolkein name.

The winner was Mike, but he took it a second time. So, the real winner was Meadow, one of my bestest friends, who doesn't blog, which is all of y'all's loss. Thanks for participating and having fun! Congratulations to Ellen for doing so well guessing and many thanks to Dawn Garrett, who made this post possible.
